Great Ocean Road Beach

I spent my first Christmas and New Year’s in Australia driving with my husband along the Great Ocean Road, which runs along the southern coast of Victoria. We drove inland from Melbourne to Warrnambool and then worked our way back along the Great Ocean Road for about a week. Our first stop was the small village of Port Campbell, where the famous 12 Apostles (a formation of limestone stacks just off the coast) are.

It’s almost impossible to drive very far along the Great Ocean Road without passing some fantastic beaches and beautiful natural scenery. On our way to view the 12 Apostles, we stopped here just to soak in the great weather and check out the beach.

I took this photo in Port Campbell, Victoria, Australia, in December 2009.
